Better Self Better Life

Melissa A Garvey, MSW, LCSW, private therapy practice, Better Self Better Life Inc. Serving clients in Carmel by the Sea and Monterey, CA. I also serve clients in Los Angeles, Malibu, Palm Springs, Sacramento, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and throughout California via telehealth and concierge services. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (CA #83716) with over 20 years of experience, offering professional help to those seeking to address personal challenges, improve their mental health, and work through difficult life circumstances. I focus on helping my clients overcome anxiety, depression, stressful family relationships, life transitions, and associated issues. After a period of working primarily within hospital-based programs, I am excited to be opening up my private practice again, where I can offer in-person, virtual, and concierge services. I limit my practice to working with a small number of clients who are at a point in their lives where they have begun to recognize they want or need to make fundamental, meaningful changes." I use a variety of well-researched and evidenced-based therapies (CBT, DBT, ACT) to create highly personalized treatment plans for each client. My mission is to help clients enjoy a gradual lifting of symptoms within a month and a consistent improvement after that. Offering individual, group, and intensive programs, I invite you to learn more by visiting my website at https://betterselfbetterlife.com or call (831) 223-9399.
